Our TGS liveblog didn't exactly capture how crazy Asura's Wrath -- the upcoming collaboration between Capcom and CyberConnect 2 -- really is. Imagine taking the over-the-top action of the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series, mixing in a ton of violence, all rendered with the power of the Unreal Engine. Oh, and did we mention the giant space Buddha statue thingy? Yeah, there's that too.

Personally I like this. My man got beat down and is still kicking at the end.
Need to see some gameplay though....

The dude was ripped to shreds but kept kicking? You gotta love that... I'm keeping my eye on this one.

Judging by the last shot of that trailer, dude's a robot.
A cybernetic organism at the very least.

Lots of manly groaning and incoherent yelling. Grotesque amounts of action. Quick time Events and a crazy art style.
My type of game.

Surprisingly better than what it looked without motion.
I'm concerned about how the gameplay will work though. This, believe it or not, seems to have featured gameplay. It did ask for certain quick buttons to be pressed. I just hope that the whole game won't be composed of that.

I'm guessing the controls will be a variation of the Naruto games, with QTEs for big things like catching giant flaming fingers.

I'm not so sure the real Buddha would want to falcon punch the world into oblivion...

I'll be the awful killjoy that points out that Asura is more commonly associated with Hinduism and (as the word Ahura) Zoroastrianism than it is with Buddhism though Buddhism is an offshoot of Hinduism. The multi-armed theme is associated with Shiva the destroyer and therefore the Celestial statue is not the Buddha known once as Siddharta Guatama.

And then everyone would've been asking where Dante's red coat is, or why he doesn't have any guns or what happened to his sword or why there're so many QTEs.
Right. Exactly what the new DMC should be.

I'd say this is OTT in the vein of Bayonetta more than DMC. Suplexing a dragon = being pocked by giant evil Buddha impostor?
That said, there seems to be an actioner resurgence as of late.

Action gaming is back. Between this, DMC, Asura's Wrath, Shadows of the Damned, Enslaved, Majin, Splatterhouse, Batman Arkham City, God of War Ghosts of Sparta, Ninja Gaiden III, El Shaddai, Darksiders 2, and whatever else I'm missing, it's an awesome time to be an action game fan.

Wow, that really was ridiculously crazy. The over-the-top-ness sorta reminded me of DMC, with a bit of GoW. Looks like it could be a fun game, but jeez, so much brown.

Some small game show. Maybe you've heard of it? It's called the Tokyo Games Show or TGS. Also, you should be harpooned for saying "shit jap games" you effing loser.
